The ML500 doesn't belong IMO, and it surely shouldn't the winner considering the other vehicles and their primary focus. Kinda of a silly test and/or outcome IMO. An all arounder isn't what people are looking for with the Cayenne GTS otherwise they'd buy the less extreme S model and they'd buy an X5 over and X6.

Perhaps we should look at it from a journalists point of view instead of a consumers view, that was my point. If driving dynamics is the main focus the journalists is going to pick the vehicle with the best compromise as a totall package. This includes it`s ride, braking and steering control and how the vehicle handles in certain situations.
This "best-compromise" between those dimensions is whats going to win the journalists hearts and this is what thay, and I mean by an all-around best performer.
This has nothing to do with less extreme choice of vehicle that you believe would not handle as well. Infact if a "less extreme" vehicle has the best comproise
it`s going to win the test.
The one that cuts the cookie courners faster than the others might not have the best comproise between those dimensions..
